NeuroLeadership TREAD workshop presentation testimonials

“Kristen Hansen presented a workshop at our Specialty Fashion Group Annual Leadership Conference to 85 leaders. The topic was The Neuroscience of Leadership (NeuroLeadership TREAD) and it was informative, entertaining and rich with practical strategies to lift engagement, improve decision making and stress regulation as well as develop and coach others.

Kristen’s style was engaging, humorous and influential and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. We really benefited from understanding more about how the brain works and how we can be better leaders as a result.

Such was her impact, people are still referring to the material presented and using it in the daily work life (and personal lives)”

“Kristen Hansen; dynamic, engaging and relevant. In presenting her neuroleadership session to the State Trustees managers, Kristen unlocked a response from the whole group that I’ve not been seen before. Every person took away strategies to help them be better leaders and they are still talking about the session months later”.

I would just like to thank you for delivering the Neuro Leadership TREAD program and the Emotionally Intelligent Leader Courses as part of the Ambulance Service Executive Development Program. These courses have allowed me to understand how I react to different situations in the work place and given me a greater awareness of my staff’s verbal and non- verbal cues to situations at work. I have used this training with great success when dealing with staff conflict situations and my day to day work practices to deal with stressful workloads. It has allowed me to plan my days better to ensure the work balance does not become overwhelming. These courses have also made it easier when acting up in Deputy Director roles as my interpersonal skills have improved by better understanding of how cognitively I react and deal with different situations. My staff have given me positive feedback on the positive way I deal with conflict and other situations in a positive and inclusive manner.

Your presentation style is amazing and energetic which in itself creates a great learning atmosphere. I would highly recommend your courses to any service or company that is looking to further enhance their manager’s development. I look forward to attending more courses with EnHansenPerformance. I have also attend your Manage Self Manage Others course and was also extremely beneficial. Thanks again for delivering such an amazing group of courses.

I am pleased to voice my appreciation for the services of Kristen Hansen and her team at EnHansen Performance.

As a provider of trade services to the Mining, Transport and Construction industry we have a team of experienced technicians that have greatly benefited from Kristen’s practical approach.

Introducing the concept of Neuroscience Leadership to a team that can spot the difference between a 5/8 spanner and a 9/16 spanner at 100 yards is not something that is expected to go well!

However with Kristen’s clear explanations and interaction, our team of floor up Supervisors and Leading Hands were able to grasp, joke, identify their own and others strengths and weaknesses from a neuroscience point of view.

EnHansen Workshops and Coaching has delivered understanding results to areas of conflict, identification of triggers and ability to increase team work and improve client relations.

“Thank you so much again for yesterday. The feedback from our people has been outstanding, as I am sure you can tell from their levels of engagement during your sessions. Such good, useful, practical wisdom.”

Learning, Research & Development Manager, People & Strategy

“Since we met I have continued to hold the fortnightly sessions with the team (1 on 1) and my managers are definitely starting to bring more to the table with me playing more of a support role in these sessions with only required business updates from me at the end of the meetings. We have the second strategy (engagement) session booked for June where the guys will bring their thoughts and ideas on how we operate effectively as a team and the best way for me to play my role in our journey. Probably the most difficult thing was ensuring I did not continue to intervene and finish tasks and I am definitely practising this more comfortably now and building confidence in the team to see jobs through to completion.

On a positive note my manager headed out to Central QLD with one of my team and they stated to him that there has been a definite change in the way I am engaging with them over the last 2 months. He communicated to my manager, he and others had discussed that it was a positive change so thank you again for your guidance.”
